The library titles that Universal Home Video will have just a trailer and maybe some notes. That's it. Unless it is noted as a Special Edition. One reason that some films never got released on laser. Is that film was very low on the list. The studios release a lot of new films, but the library list is a longer list. They look at how well will this title sell. Ok its a Clint Eastwood movie, he has a great following around the world. But look how long it took Warner to release the rest of the Dirty Harry movies. Look how long Paramount took to release "The Godfather", "Saturday Night Fever", "Grease". All of those titles have sold millions of copies. It will be great to see "Two Mules for Sister Sara" in the 2.39 scope format. Just like when TCM ran.  |

I hate to walk up to a door with Harry.
To many people don't like him.

This is not only an Eastwood film, it's an Eastwood Western, a Don Siegel film, a Shirley MacLaine film, and the first color film by the great Mexican cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa (it was as part of a Figueroa retrospective offered by the Film Society of Lincoln Center that I first saw it). I still don't understand why it never got a laserdisc release when such trifles as City Heat were out there ... I think it's the only Eastwood feature film (with him in a starring role), that never was on laser. And I don't understand why it's been out on DVD in other parts of the world for a couple of years now, but not here.  But thanks for your input, Briggs. Yup, it will be good to have it in an unbutchered format at last (though TCM showed it in widescreen a couple of months ago). |
